What an insult!
I’m sure your seen the commercial on TV. It goes something like, ”… live better…Walmart”. As far as I’m concerned, I’m insulted.
Let’s face it; Walmart’s expressed appeal is to low-income families. It’s unfortunate that Walmart has driven out most of the stores that catered to medium to high-income families and forced some of us to shop like low-income families.
While they may be on the cutting edge, they are not on my cutting edge and they never will be. I shop there because I have to because there are few other local choices.
Walmart may be the county’s gift to those looking for part time, uninsured, employment, but let’s be honest and look at their real appeal. As for the sales tax revenue, great! What is it? $4.97.
